“It's clear that for the price point, you're getting a genuinely spacious and clean room, often with a surprisingly good shower, making it a straightforward choice for a place to simply rest your head. The check-in process, involving the restaurant across the road, is a bit unconventional but manageable, and the value here is undeniable, even with the potential for evening noise from the pub below.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukstrathclyde
